INQUIRY UNPACKED An Introduction to
Inquiry-Based Learning
By Barbara A. Jansen
"Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge."
"Plan strategies to guide inquiry."
As our national educational organizations'
standards evolve from students mastering
discrete skills to demonstrating broad learning
behaviors, often referred to as 21st century
learning skills, pedagogy is slowly shifting from
teacher- and textbook-centered dissemination
of facts and information to student-centered
construction of learning and knowledge. In
this environment, students use a wide range
of resources to collaborate with others to solve
authentic problems by thinking critically, actively
create content, and communicate with a wide
audience. The Partnership for 21st Century
Skills succinctly categorizes these participatory
skills into the four Cs: "critical thinking and
problem solving, collaboration, communication,
and creativity and innovation" (P21 mission
statement). Both the American Association of
School Librarians (AASL) and the International
Society for Technology in Education's (ISTE)

"The inquiry process is not linear but occurs
as a cyclical series of actions or events."
National Educational Technology Standards for
Students 2007 call for students to use an inquiry
approach when engaged in the research process.
The AASL standards refer to inquiry seven times,
including having students "inquire, think critically,
gain knowledge, " and to "follow an inquiry-
based process in seeking knowledge in curricular
subjects, . . ." and "continue an inquiry-based
research process by applying critical-thinking skills
. . ." in addition to "conclud[ing] an inquiry-based
research process . . ." (AASL). ISTE standards call
tor students to "plan strategies to guide inquiry"
("NETS for Students").
But what does it look like for a student to be
engaged in inquiry? What is inquiry-based
research, commonly referred to as inquiry-based
learning or "guided inquiry" (Kuhlthau, Maniotcs,
and Caspari)? A recent post on the AASL email
forum underscores the confusion that school
librarians and educators in general have about
inquiry. A librarian questioned the use of the term
"inquiry-based project" in the standards in lieu
of "research project" and considered whether she
should teach her students the meaning of inquiry.

Teaching and research: What has neuroscience ever done for us?
The presenters critique the argument that research is irrelevant to teaching, focusing on the field of neuroscience. Using teaching examples, they argue that research findings can help teachers firstly, to recognize and avoid classroom practices based on misconceptions about brain-based learning, and secondly, to apply techniques that enhance and validate ideas of best practice.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
